Two studies suggest that AI chatbots can shift political views more effectively than TV campaign ads, by presenting many claims, regardless of their accuracy

New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people's political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

🚨 New in Nature+Science!🚨 AI chatbots can shift voter attitudes on candidates & policies, often by 10+pp 🔹Exps in US Canada Poland & UK 🔹More “facts”→more persuasion (not psych tricks) 🔹Increasing persuasiveness reduces “fact” accuracy 🔹Right-leaning bots=more inaccurate [image]

New research suggests AI chatbots can shift people's political views more effectively than campaign ads on TV.

Now to the Science paper Here we scaled things up: 🔹76,977 UK participants 🔹707 political issues 🔹19 different LLMs (open & closed source) We asked: what factors boost AI persuasion the most - model size, personalization, prompting, or post-training? https://www.science.org/...

🚨New WP🚨 Many people - from Trump to @elonmusk - have accused Twitter of anti-conservative bias Is this accusation accurate? We test for evidence of such a bias empirically - and turns out it's more complicated than you might think... https://psyarxiv.com/ay9q5 1/ https://twitter.com/...
